| | THANKS!
For helping keep this great
old truck web site
on the Internet for over 30 years! and not clogged down with Ads! Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 277 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 277 | I am working on a 55.1 that had the two tone blue interior. The running board seals were originally blue (well blue grey). I did not find them on Jim Carter's site (he carries most of the blue and green stuff). Does anyone know if its available?
Thanks,
Joe

It fills the gap between the bottom of the cab and the top of the running board. Since it is pretty well hidden, this piece could be painted if you primed it with something suitable for rubber. Most people don't even know that piece even exists.

The door seal itself was black and the seal exterior to the cab behind the running boards was also black. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 277 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 277 | Thanks list, the rubber that I am looking for is what 52Carl suggested. There is "some" of my old seal left and it is the same blue grey that the windlace was. No big deal if its not available, like Carl says it barely noticeable.
